POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am everything I do, everything I feel, and everything I see. I see pain and anger, desire and love. I see the good and the bad, I bring the light to darkness, the dark to light.

Dark Thoughts
Drive that sword
deeper and deeper.
Please,
kill me.
Kill me slowly
so I might breath in
the rich scent.
Die with me.
Taste your blood
as it sprays from your wounds.
The sharp point of my sword
drives home.
An explosion of flesh and blood
a single mumbled word
"beautiful"
and it is all over.
Your eyes gloss over
as you fall to my feet.

Reality
Sleeping
there is much joy
The dark nothing
of a dreamless sleep.
Waking waking
in the morn'
Waking waking
now I mourn.
I woke up.
Another day
of hate and fear.
Another day.
Fearing
hating
crying
waiting.
I spend my days
waiting
for the joyous night
fearing
the retched day.
This is my reality
This is life
and death
rolled into one.
there is much joy
The dark nothing

Waking waking

That Christmas
My baby girl is dying
She's got it real bad.
The cancer in her blood
has stolen her childhood.
My baby needs chemo
She needs it to live
She needs a chance
She will have a chance.
Why is chemo
so goddamn expensive?
Why are crack and heroine cheaper
that the liquid fire
they need to pump into my baby's arms.
I cannot pay
for the chemicals.
I cannot afford to save my girl.
That fact is tearing me up.
I'm running
running through the street
The bankers yelling behind me
and I am running.
I...

I am
I am a woman
I am a man
I am your child
And I am your friend.
I go to your church
And I live on your street.
I hike with you
Through snow-capped mountains
And I learn with you at school.
I am in your work place
And in your malls.
I am everywhere
And I welcome you.
I am good for a chat
And we share our ideas
I love the Earth
And you do too.
I care for you
When you are ill
And I share your joys
And sorrows.
I fight our wars
And celebrate our holidays.
I am a witch.

All Your Lessons
While living with you
I have learned much.
You've taught me
all you know
just as a father should.
I learned how to search the web
for seemingly obscure facts and dates.
I've learned to ignore the bullies
because their opinion doesn't matter.
I learned many great things
You've taught me much.
I know how to get interested
in most classes.
I know how rewarding it is
to face a foe in a tournament.
Yes, you've taught me all you know.
You taught me to reason
and with that I was able
to reassemble my computer....

I Want to go Home
I hate it here
you try to make me welcome,
but I really hate it here.
Dad, why can't you see?
You try to make me do things your way
eat what you'd eat
do what you'd do
and be perfect.
I've tried to be perfect
I've tried to do well
but I'm tired of hearing
the disappointed voice.
Tired of the sighs,
the tears
all of it!
I don't want to be here!
I want to go home
back to mom's house.
She respects me,
she doesn't pressure me!
She treats me like a person,
while you act like I'm 5 years old!
I...

Beauty
Screaming pain
my heart cannot breath.
My beautiful friend,
I wish I could fix this.
Loving someone
who cannot love perfection.
A curse I wish to lift from your shoulders
but all you do is pine
and all I do is cry.
My beautiful friend
How can she not see?
The pain is only masked by your beauty
still she turns a blind eye.
Piercing eyes
captivating me,
Soft flesh
pale as snow
with hair
black as the raven.
How can she not see?
I see.
I see how lucky she is
to have your love.
I...
my heart cannot breath.
My beautiful friend,

A "Letter to the Editor" style rant
There has been a lot of talk about gay marriage with the election coming up, but some of what people have to say has greatly disturbed me. The question should not be, "Should gay people be allowed to marry?" The more important question is, "Are gay people human?" The answer is obviously yes, and therefore they should be allowed the same rights as the rest of the citizens of America. Marriage allows you to be with your husband or wife when they are dying in the hospital, but civil unions do not allow for that. How horrible would you feel if your husband or wife died and you...

A Lullaby
piano plays softly
Rest your head
close your eyes.
It's time for bed,
that's no surprise.
My hand is here
should you be scared
so take it dear
with love to be shared.
1 minute piano solo here
Rest your head
close your eyes.
It's time for bed,
that's no surprise.
Rest your head
close your eyes.
It's time for bed,
that's no surprise.
My hand is here
should you be scared
so take it dear
with love to be shared.

Rest your head
close your eyes.

It Could Have Been
I shouldn't be here
I shouldn't even exist.
You should have removed me
while there was still a chance.
You wouldn't be working
for minimum wage
doing something
a monkey could do.
He would have gone to college.
He would have a job
he actually likes,
And you would not be getting divorced
because you would never have been married.
And what of me?
Well,
I would be happy.
I would not exist
and that
is the greatest gift
I could ask for.
I shouldn't even exist.
You should have removed me
while there was still a chance.
You wouldn't be working
for minimum wage
doing something
a monkey could do.
He would have gone to college.
He would have a job

And you would not be getting divorced

The Birth
Deep inside
the pit of my stomach,
a tiny parasite grows.
I know not yet
who you are,
I know not yet what you are.
But I will keep you,
I will nurture and protect you
Because you are mine.
I don't know you
And yet, I do
You are the woman
who will decide my fate
Whether I will be born
and know you
Or another.
Or perhaps this
is my last day here
and you will remove me from you
before I can grow.
Either way,
I am yours
Because you are my mother.
I have waited for this day
I have felt it...
the pit of my stomach,
a tiny parasite grows.
I know not yet
who you are,
I know not yet what you are.
But I will keep you,
I will nurture and protect you
Because you are mine.
I don't know you
And yet, I do
You are the woman
who will decide my fate
Whether I will be born
and know you
Or another.
Or perhaps this
is my last day here
and you will remove me from you
before I can grow.
Either way,
I am yours
Because you are my mother.
I have waited for this day

A Hidden Message
once upon a midnight,
a cold one In october,
when delighted cries of
"trick or treat"

A lOving spirit

The thinning of the Veil

to spend a night
watching Over you.
This single night
yoUr guardian spirit
can truly joIn you.
dearest child,
don't fear the ghoSties
they only want to protect you.

my grandmother calls!
shed your fear and Bare your arms
Every spirit comes
